In April 2015, Adam Voges was selected for the Australian Test cricket team for their overseas tour against the West Indies and later England. It marked his long-awaited debut in the national Test side, a moment he described as a humble honor. Remarkably, Voges became the oldest player to score a century on Test debut, an achievement that brought him significant attention.
Voges' century on debut earned him the Player of the Match award, noting his maturity and poise under pressure. His Baggy Green cap was presented by former Australian cricketer Brendon Julian. Later, due to an injury to David Warner (a fractured thumb), Voges served as vice-captain for Australia during an ODI series against England.
Voges broke several milestones during his career. Most notably, he surpassed Ricky Ponting’s score of 209 at Bellerive Oval and later exceeded Doug Walters’ 242 to set a new record for Australia’s highest individual score in a Test innings against the West Indies. These accomplishments solidified Voges' reputation as a reliable and accomplished batsman during his tenure with the Australian team.
